    Content Presentation Using a three-point thesis statement, write about your

    relationship with food. The essay should present

    information from the films screened for this module

    and any information from assigned or personal

    reading. The first essay should be five (5) to seven (7)

    paragraphs in length. Begin with a general discussion

    of your theme. Then, reveal the problem or

    challenge. Finish the introduction with a three-

    pronged thesis. The body paragraphs should contain

    evidence (support) for the topic sentences it

    supports. The conclusion must present a cohesive

    synthesis that also supports your thesis.

    Thesis Your thesis statement should present a reasoned, well-

    thought, well-structured position on some aspect of

    your relationship with food. The thesis must be well-

    organized, clearly stated, and strongly supported with

    information and sources.

    10

    Synthesis Your synthesis should revisit your position and the

    high points of your discussion. You should examine

    the good and bad points of both sides and whether

    some collaboration or merger of ideas would be

    beneficial.

    15

    Conclusion The conclusion revisits the thesis, incorporates the

    synthesis, and ends with a profound summative

    statement about the topic.

    10

    Support Sources Sources should be the films, readings, and other

    information from essays, newspapers, or magazines

    you want to share. Sources should not be general.

    Present all sources as in-text citations and list them on

    the Works Cited page of your essay.
